XJ12 Series 2 Coupe Window (A-Frame) Seals?

Hi,
I am rebuilding (very slowly) a 1975 XJ12C from a huge selection of bits ... I have the small A-Frame Chrome sections that fit in the front A-Frame of the doors and they do have their seals fitted, but they are not in the best of condition. I have yet to find any supplier that stocks these seals, so wondering whether anybody out there has these in excellent second-hand or new condition? Or knows a supplier that does stock them?

The seals in questions are: BD.46498 and BD.46499 ... there is also a square section seal that seems to fit inside these seals, if you have those as well? Alternatively, I would re-use those square section seals.

I have tried nearly every Jaguar Parts Supplier (all NYA) and Rubber Extrusion Suppliers do not do these irregular-shaped seals. ANy help would be most appreciated.

Kind Regards

I can't give you any good news about UK suppliers for those seals but I have found that some of these hard to find spares can be located more easily in the USA or Australia. Have you tried those foreign eBay sites or the specialist suppliers in those countries? If the answer is no, it might be worth a try. Mike.
